know yellow cakes right so this will be what I'm using So you want to follow the instructions that's really on the box I'm giving you guys what generally all of them you know say right so we getting ready to open this up right so take this and then you know we just dump it We just making a cake right now folks But it's the infusion that we f to do with it that just sends it right over the top If you got any function you going to don't forget Labor Day is coming up This is what you going to want to put in there You know this is what you going to want to take Then we're getting ready to add you know our oil This is what's going to make it nice and moist for folks Our water And by the way we going to be using the hand mixer And we're going to put our eggs in Then we get our hand mixer We start slow folks Right Look at that You don't want to get it all over the place Then as you get it you know it starts to mix then we just kick it up just a little bit Oh yeah This is taking me back to when Granny was in the kitchen making her pies and her cakes and all of that Remember when we used to be able to have those uh beers and then once everything is incorporated I run a spatula a spatula around the sides You know what I mean so we can get everything in there I got a glass bowl I'm able to look on the side and make sure I don't see no flour or nothing like that Right I want you guys to notice I don't turn it all the way up high I'm not trying to ariate it You know what I mean but this is what I love right here Look at that For those of you guys this is your first time ever making something like this Like this your first cake this will be nice easy and you're going to love the cleanup You know why cuz we going to put it in aluminum pan All right So this is what I'm talking about when I say the aluminum pan right so you want to get yourself a little non-stick spray You know what I mean pam does make one that's specifically made you know for bacon It's like a spray powder That'll work too But that's it You don't need that much All right Now I'm getting ready to take it and we'll just pour this in here Just like this Look at that right there Yes heard Something about when you see something slow like this and the way it smell Come on folks Right now this is gonna be nice and moist you know Okay so now my oven is up to temp I take it put it in the inside and we set a timer for 30 minutes Okay so my timer just went off right so we want to make sure and verify is this cake done right so we pull it up and then we look at that I see little something on there I'mma check it over here All right let's check the center up All right we going to give it another five minutes Then we take it out We going to take these You going to need about 5 oz right so we going to add these here All right All right So listen My timer went off You know what I mean uh I checked it I ran a toothpick through it in multiple places to make sure that it comes out clean Right now now that it's done that listen this is going to be a little level up for us We going to make the cake We're going to infuse it with this you know this this this banana cream flavor Right So what I'm going to do is look I got a little round Some of you guys have some like wooden spoons or something like that You going to want to poke some holes in here And I'm going to show you why So I'm going to just hit here here here here You do whatever pattern you want to do You know what I mean but you just want to make sure that so when we pour our you know our banana cream filling in here it goes inside of you know inside of these holes Pattern would be great You know what I mean uh you can see I'm all over the place but this is what you going to want to have Okay folks Look I'm going to give up the pro tip So this is where you want to listen carefully This right here is the banana cream pudding mix right this is what I put in here right so we got 5 oz of that in here And then if you look right here I got 3 and 1/2 cups of cold milk Now I got my whisk You want to have all this together cuz once we put this cold water in here I mean this cold milk in here what it does is activate and it's going to try to set Soon as you get it mixed it shouldn't take you but about 10 15 20 seconds at the latest Then you want to go ahead and pour it on the top while it's still pourable right that way you can ensure that it gets inside of these holes Right so I'mma do this for you so you guys can see how it is And watch how I get right to it Notice I put my whisk in here And here we go All right So we pour We hurry up and get it in there Just like you saw right now once you got it mixed and it pour remember I told you it tries to set quick You see how this is right here you just want to wait just like that Now we pour I'm not sure if you guys can see how just how quick it sets right but it almost becomes like icing on the top So what I'm doing is now and because of how the cake rolls you know the corners will kind of like taper down a little bit So it finds that you know all the low ends will go down So I just run this across the top just like you see You know what I mean and we call that good All right So once you got all of that evened out you know to the best you can you know this is where it get a little bit on the fun side right you want to take your bananas right and you just want to start layering the top of it All right So that's good That's good And so so on you know make sure you got enough bananas I usually use three It depends on how thick I cut them But it is a banana pudding you know cake So all right So look this is how it should look You guys see that it becomes selfexplanatory That's why I didn't show you You put whatever pattern you want to put on there Just get the bananas on there Right now I'm getting ready to open up Well I have just opened up my you know my cool whip Now we can make this from scratch and do all of that but sometimes I'm telling you simple works You know we using the box cream cheese banana cream cheese We using whipped cream is bought you know in a tub But it's about efficiency and the taste right so that's what I bring That's what it brings when you guys come to my channel All right So we just come on in here You know what I mean and we just start putting it on the top Right I kind of like put it You look how I'm doing it I kind of like drop it in Don't be so sloppy like me you know way over the top being heavy-handed My folks say everything I do I'm heavy-handed I got to get my finesse back So here we go We just put it on like that Then we work with it You want to have at least a good layer on top right all right So we get it like this And I think that's enough Now remember how it tapered down on that side no worries Cuz what we going to do is we just going to try to get it all level And I want to make sure that while I'm moving it across with my spatula I'm not having I'm not riding over my you know the top of my uh bananas Right So let me just bring it in just like this Hey I always tell you like I don't know what it is about the tone of anybody that's making something when you get to this part right here When you start really flexing your you know you start flexing yourself and all of that feeling good and all of that Why does the tone of your voice change right So the cool thing about this is we going to put this in the refrigerator once we done Right now you guys can be creative and do whatever you would like from here on as far as your topping I'm using the classic you know vanilla wafer I used to eat these just out of the box you know when I was younger So we just leave it like this That looks good You know what even if you made some peaks or whatever you could put it in the oven under the boiler and get your peaks to turn brown There's a lot of little flex you know things you can do right which I'm interested in hearing what would you guys do other than what I have done right here All right So as you see I started doing this and got caught up in what I was doing and almost forgot to film Right so I'mma do them like this Now you guys can use whatever cookie you would like Again I tried to use the OG Right now you going to like the way I'mma plate these two So what I'm getting ready to do now is I'mma put them in the uh I'mma put this whole thing in the refrigerator I'm going to let this set So tomorrow or maybe later on today I'll show you guys what it looks like You only need to put it in the refrigerator for about an hour or two You know what I mean but as far as I'm concerned I might let this go overnight That's cuz I got something to do and then I'll show you guys exactly what it looks like when I cut this and put it on the plate Okay so it's next day obviously you can see I didn't change my duds Right so listen that's done This has had a good time to set right so now I'm going to figure out how I want to go ahead and cut one of these You know get myself a slice right so I'mma just make myself a line just like this Right And then I'mma go ahead and just take it all the way on down Cut through those bananas down there Right Just like you see real simple You know what I mean uh cuz you guys know this is like my favorite part right here when it come to like going ahead and getting everything set up to do myself you know my pictures And that's it You know the presentation is everything This is how you guys got here So I'm getting ready to get this out of here real carefully I don't know if I even want to put this on the camera You know what I'm saying but let me get this out Let me get it on this plate and I'll show you what's happening after that Okay folks So listen Took my pictures You know what I mean this is the one I use for you know my thumbnail This is probably the one that brought you here right so I have that one But this is that big piece that corner piece Remember the the corners kind of like did like this So that's why you got that weird little shape to it right even though it was cut in the even square But with all of that being said listen this is super easy super moist You know what I I mean this is like a a new fan you know a new fan favorite So what I want you guys to do is let me know down in the comment section below What could you do what could you add to this how would you layer it you know all of that There's ways I could have done it I could have put vanilla wafers on the bottom Look I'm not going to spoil it I'm not going to make it easy for y'all Y'all let me know what you would do And uh hey you never know Next time I make it I might just do it your way Now if you're new to this channel let me just take this time to say thank you for watching this video Don't forget to
